Meet the Fockers (2004)

Cast: Robert De Niro (Jack Byrnes), Ben Stiller (Greg Focker), Dustin Hoffman (Bernie Focker), Barbra Streisand (Rozalin Focker), Blythe Danner (Dina Byrnes), Teri Polo (Pam Byrnes)

Since I wasn't a fan of Meet the Parents, the idea of Meet the Fockers didn't appeal to me at all - especially when I found out Barbara Streisand (who I try to avoid in all forms) was going to play Greg's mother. Just what I needed in a movie I didn't want to see in the first place. So, why did I see it in a theatre? Christmas movies are always done by a vote in our family and I didn't win.

Surprisingly, I ended up enjoying Meet the Fockers a lot more than I did Meet the Parents. It wasn't as belaboring and was much more entertaining. Barbara Streisand was even funny. Now that is a statement coming from me!

Still wouldn't rush out to a theatre to see it, but worth renting or watching on HBO.
